Best Friends Still SgtMaj. Wayne Smith! Also was reunited with MGySgt. Jim Rainey there whom I had known as a good friend since 12th Marines on Oki in 1978. Sadly, Jim passed away in August 2008 after lengthly illness.
Worst Moment Dealing with a "problem" Sergeant's Major in one of the Battalions!
Chain of Command Col. Hanlon was the CO, good man! Later went on th make MGen. LtCol. Saylor was the XO and pretty much was running the show as the Col. was out taking care of his wife who was ill. Saylor was another fine officer!
